I'm working with an archive of PDF documents that contain important business email conversations. Some files are password-protected, and I would like to convert them into EML format so I can access the messages through an email application rather than keep opening individual PDFs.

The manual method doesn't seem suitable for this situation. Copying the message body and creating a new email means repeating the process for every document, and it is easy to overlook the original subject, sender, recipient, or other available details. Attachments also need to be handled separately.

During my search, I found the DRS Softech PDF Converter Tool. According to its product information, it supports password-protected PDFs and batch conversion. Users can load files or folders, select EML as the destination, and apply advanced features or filters before converting. It also offers other output formats, including Word, which could be helpful for separate document-conversion tasks.

I am considering this option because maintaining the original formatting, structure, and available metadata is important for reviewing older correspondence. The tool is designed for Windows systems, and a free demo is available to evaluate its performance before purchasing the full version.

Has anyone converted password-protected PDFs with this software? Did you need to unlock the files first, and were the resulting EML messages readable in your preferred email client?
